(CNS): CUC customers from George Town to the eastern districts were without power Thursday morning, as Grand Cayman’s electricity provider is experiencing a technical outage, though the company has not indicated what the problem is. In a short notice, CUC said crews were working to restore power as quickly and as safely as possible.

“It is estimated that full power will be restored by 12:30pm this afternoon,” officials said as they apologised for the inconvenience.

CNS received reports of people being without electricity from South Sound and as far east as Frank Sound from around 10:30am this morning. Check back for more updates later.

I arrived here yesterday and was enjoying the beach while looking forward to dinner. Sadly, the power around the Westin went out at 6 pm. No restaurant within walking distance could serve food. I tried 6 places and was told that, due to the power outage, they could not serve food. I went to bed last night without dinner. From reading these comments and talking to others, I discovered power outages occur every 3 – 5 months. I may need to rethink having my daughter’s wedding in the Cayman Islands.

This is point blank poor! This power cut fried my deep freezer with over 25lbs of meats and groceries! CUC really has to do better than this. In certain parts of Central America and Caribbean that we claim to be “third world” the service is superior! Come on man! If we are paying through roof every month at least provide a proper service.

I live near Walkers Road and we have frequent outages. When I call to report all I get is an automated recording about an open feeder number something or other at the South Sound power station. WtF is an open feeder? And is that number supposed to help me determine how fast the food in my fridge will go rancid? I think not. Just flipping tell us the truth and fix it all ready.

CUC you simply have to do better than this for what we pay, before you come back with reliabilty being 99.9% blah blah blah, it simply isn’t relevant because I only care about when I don’t get what I pay for.
